Panel discussion 'Jews and new Ukraine', London,

A new Ukrainian identity project is underway, taking the experiences and histories of all who live on the Ukrainian soil. How does Ukraine’s Jewish community fit into this mosaic and what is the significance of a new term for this community, "Ukrainian Jews"? What is the role Jews play in contemporary Ukraine? What are the outcomes of the official politics of memory in today’s Ukraine? And what should we make of conflicting reports about Ukraine’s anti-Semitism?

This is a ticketed event. Please book here.
